1957 Jaguar XK140 MC Coupe
One of the 1950s’ most iconic motor cars, the Jaguar XK series has always had a strong following. The technologically innovative and stunning XK120 proved to be extremely popular thanks to its remarkable new twin-cam inline-6 cylinder engine, swoopy styling and genuine 120 mph performance (not to mention the surprisingly affordable price). For 1955, the XK120 became the XK140, which, while substantially the same, was improved in key areas. XK140s offer more leg room and more power, rack and pinion steering, telescoping shock absorbers, and improved brakes. As ever, coupe, drophead coupe, and roadster versions were available with the roadster always remaining the most beautiful and pure model. The most desirable and highest performing variant was the SE model, which could be further enhanced with the competition derived “C-Type” cylinder head. The SE designation stood for Special Equipment, which included wire wheels, dual exhaust, fog lamps, larger carburetors, and usually C-Type cylinder head, which resulted in 20 more horsepower. These cars were also designated MC, when fitted with C-Type head. This is particular car is a matching numbers genuine XK140 MC Coupe, built 6 November 1956 and supplied to Jaguar Cars New York. It was originally finished in black with red interior and was sold to its first owner, Robert Grant of Tucson, Arizona on 31 December 1956 as a gift for his wife. By 1975, the car had found its way to Florida, where it remained until its current owner purchased it in 2008. While in Florida, the car was comprehensively restored and set up with event use in mind. The car has been obsessively maintained and improved by its current owner since 2008 and is ideally suited to rallies thanks to its comfort and pleasurable driving experience. The engine was rebuilt in 2010. There are two thick binders with many invoices dating as far back as 1975 as well as several boxes of spare parts. The car makes a strong impression cosmetically but is not perfect, making it an ideal event car. The paintwork is attractive overall, with a few chips and surface cracks. The body is straight and solid with good gaps and panel operation. The chrome is varies from quite nice to on the front grille to lightly pitted on the headlight trims to somewhat more pitted on the door handles. On balance, the chrome is attractive with light pitting. The glass is in very good shape and the headlights are protected by stone guards. The leather hood strap, rally clocks on the dash, and absence of front bumper adds further to the rally aesthetic of the car, though the front bumper is included. The interior is in great shape, with great patina to the leather trim. The carpets are in very good shape overall and appear to be of the correct wool, although the driver’s carpet has some wear. New carpets for the front footwells are included. The dashboard is in very good shape and is correctly presented with original instruments and wood trim. The wood trim has some hairline cracks but presents well overall. The engine compartment presentation is consistent with that of the rest of the car, being clean, attractive, and presentable, but not highly detailed or freshly restored. The engine is matching numbers and has some upgrades to the oiling and ignition systems to enhance usability and reliability for events. The trunk is fully trimmed in correct matching red upholstery and is in very good shape. The car runs and drives extremely well. The engine is well-tuned and sounds great, and is tractable, pulling well in all gears. The chassis and suspension are tight and coherent, and the brakes effective. It The gearbox shifts well and the overall experience is quite enjoyable and it is easy to see the appeal of using this car in a long distance touring event. Indeed, the car has proven its worth by participating in the 2009 California Mille. This is a great opportunity to acquire a nicely-sorted matching numbers XK140MC. A genuine MC, this car’s coupe body style makes it an ideal partner for touring events, as does its thoughtful event-preparation. The car runs and drives great and is not so nice to prevent the new owner from wanting to use it extensively. It is eligible for a wide variety of prestigious events and comes with an extensive package of spare parts, including front bumper, internal engine components, roll bar, wheels and tires, original MC fog lamps, and many other parts. There is also a binder with many invoices to confirm the excellent care the car has received.

Nissan is considering an affordable, electrified small pickup for America. The VW ID.7 Tourer electric wagon has been revealed, and we consider whether it should come here, too. John talks about the energy of the exhibition halls at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show, and our hosts talk highlights from SEMA 2023.

Jaguar C-X17 Concept teased before Frankfurt
Sun, 01 Sep 2013Just ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show, which begins September 10, Jaguar is teasing the reveal of a design study to introduce its new advanced vehicle architecture. Dubbed the C-X17, the mysterious concept "illustrates the diversity of vehicles that could be produced using this architecture, which underpins the innovative future of the Jaguar brand."
While it's not entirely clear what this architecture involves or what type of vehicle the C-X17 may be, this reveal is reminiscent of Jaguar's decision to unveil the C-X16 concept, a hybrid electric sports car, in Frankfurt in 2011. From the looks of the teaser image Jaguar released (click above to enlarge), we're guessing the C-X17 will be something between a low-slung crossover and a sporty wagon. But we won't have to wait too long to find out - Jaguar is streaming the live pre-show reveal to invited guests on its Facebook page on Monday, Sept. 9.
In addition to the C-X17, Jaguar be showing off the performance-oriented XJR and XFR-S, and, of course, the F-Type convertible. Scroll down for the official press release.
This is how we'd spec a Jaguar F-Pace
Tue, Sep 22 2015The configurator hitting the web is an exciting time in a new model's launch. Even if you don't have the cash to buy that sweet new ride, clicking through the options offers a chance to dream. Since we enjoy these stories so much, the Autoblog team is trying out something a little different for the new Jaguar F-Pace. Rather than describing all the stuff you can find on the page, some of our writers are going to show you how they'd spec out Jag's first crossover. Let us know how you like the new format in Comments, below. CHRIS BRUCE: I had an attractive, fairly affordable F-Pace Prestige ready, until the options list tempted me into an extra $5,000 in features. The final price of $56,255 doesn't seem too bad, though. While the diesel engine is probably quite nice, it's extremely hard not to pick the supercharged V6 with its intoxicating sound and 340 hp. Mine also includes the black trim package ($320), deleting the powertrain badge ($0), Adaptive Dynamics Pack ($1,000), Vision Pack ($2,000), and Head-up Display ($990). The British Racing Green paint ($550) and aluminum interior trim ($300) add a little more to the bottom line but are worth it for the extra style. GREG MIGLIORE: I shamelessly loaded mine up with options, let's just get that out of the way. But the F-Pace offers a lot of cool stuff, and the $400 activity security key is worth it for active lifestyles. I went with the silver paint and black 22s because I'd want my grocery-getter to have some attitude, and I think the pairing makes for a sinister yet tasteful appearance. Naturally, I'd want the 380-hp V6. It's a Jag. I want it to purr. SEYTH MIERSMA: If I'm throwing down on an F-Pace, I've already decided that I'm not going the thrifty route for my new crossover. Still, I don't see any particular advantage to the most-sporting version. The 340-hp gas-powered Jag will do just fine. Middle of the road then: F-Pace Prestige has the Xenons, heated seats, and steering wheel, and navigation that'd I'd add to a lesser model. And it looks hilariously disrespectful in this BRG paint with 20-inch black wheels. Jeremy Korzeniewski: The F-Pace is a Jaguar, and that means it can be both sporty and luxurious at the same time. But that doesn't mean it can't also be efficient. To that end, I chose to eschew the powerful gasoline engine options and instead spec my fictional F-Pace with a diesel.
